Partnership Platform
Transforming a prototype into a scalable product is a challenge regardless of the target market. But innovators that seek to strengthen national security face all the challenges of the commercial markets plus additional requirements: the harsh operating conditions of the military environment, demanding cybersecurity requirements, and a procurement model unlike any other commercial market in the world.
Thankfully, many government and private industry service providers have developed services to solve these unique challenges.
The Pacific Impact Zone Partner Platform is constantly growing to serve as a marketplace dedicated to removing the barriers to entry unique to federal contracting. Many of the services are provided free to innovators while some charge service fees.
